Player News
Colby Rasmus goes deep in defeat
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(10:27 pm ET) Blue Jays outfielder Colby Rasmus smacked his seventh home run Tuesday during a loss to the Rays. In fact, he scored two of the team's three runs in the loss.  

Rasmus, batting seventh, went deep in the fifth inning off starter Alex Cobb. He finished 2 for 4 with two runs scored and is batting .234 on the year.

The 26-year-old Rasmus has really struggled in May and has dropped his batting almost 20 full points over his last 10 games. He does have seven homers and 19 RBI, however.

Desmond Jennings homers in win
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(10:26 pm ET) Rays leadoff hitter Desmond Jennings went yard for the fifth time this season Tuesday in Toronto. Jennings took Ramon Ortiz deep in the third inning for a solo shot.

Jennings went 1 for 4 in the game and is batting .241. He's hit in seven straight games and has six RBI over that span with three runs scored.

Fernando Rodney pulls ninth save
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(10:25 pm ET) Rays closer Fernando Rodney was asked to record five outs Tuesday in Toronto. Rodney entered in the eighth inning with two runners on base and one out. 

On his first pitch in the eighth, Rodney induced a double play to end the inning. He remained on for the ninth in the 4-2 game and allowed a run to score on a wild pitch before recording the save on a strikeout. He went 1 2/3 innings with two strikeouts and one run allowed on a hit and a walk. 

Rodney, who now has nine saves on the season, has recorded two consecutive scoreless appearances since allowing three runs on four hits and a hit over 2/3 of an inning against Boston. His ERA is at 5.00. 


Alex Cobb earns fifth win
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(10:24 pm ET) Rays starter Alex Cobb put together another solid performance Tuesday at Toronto. Cobb allowed just one earned run for the second consecutive start as he earned the win.

The Tampa Bay starter threw 107 pitches over 6 1/3 innings as he allowed just one earned run on three hits and two walks with two strikeouts. The only run he gave up came on a Colby Rasmus solo homer to right in the fifth.

Cobb (5-2) has been phenomenal this season with his 2.73 ERA and 1.13 WHIP. He's struck out 54 over 59 1/3 innings and makes his next scheduled start Monday against Miami.

Ramon Ortiz doesn't last very long
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(10:24 pm ET) Blue Jays starter Ramon Ortiz, who has joined the rotation due to injuries to fellow starters Josh Johnson and J.A. Happ, did not fare very well Tuesday at home against the Rays.

With Alex Cobb once again pitching well, Ortiz suffered the defeat as he was out of the game just one out into the third inning. He allowed four earned runs on six hits and a walk over 54 pitches to fall to 1-2 for Toronto. Ortiz surrendered two solo homers in the game and struck out one.

The 39-year-old had given up just two earned runs in his first two starts spanning 12 innings for a 1-1 record. Unfortunately, he also walked five batters in one of those outings and his WHIP is high at 1.64.

It is uncertain at this time whether or not Ortiz will get another start for manager John Gibbons. If he does, it should come Sunday against Baltimore.

Jed Lowrie leaves with foot contusion
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(10:12 pm ET) Athletics designated hitter Jed Lowrie had to leave Tuesday's game in Texas with a right foot contusion after being hit by a pitch, MLB.com reports. Lowrie initially remained in the game but was replaced by Luke Montz in his next at-bat. 

Lowrie went 1 for 2 in the game before leaving and is batting .301 on the year. He's considered day to day for the A's. Lowrie has gone 5 for 12 in his last three games. He has 21 RBI on the year over 173 at-bats. 


Aroldis Chapman tries something new
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(10:08 pm ET) Reds closer Aroldis Chapman was stuck in a rut over his last few appearances, so he decided to change things up Monday against the Mets; he started pitching out of the stretch even with the bases empty. 

"He was down in the bullpen getting loose and threw from the stretch and felt comfortable that way. So he just stayed with it," Reds pitching coach Bryan Price told MLB.com Tuesday.

Chapman had blown his previous two save opportunities before setting down the Mets on 11 pitches in a 4-3 win. 


Nate McLouth hits walk-off homer in 10th
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(10:07 pm ET) Orioles outfielder Nate McLouth was the hero Tuesday night as Baltimore snapped a six-game losing streak with his walk-off homer in the bottom of the 10th inning against the Yankees. 

McLouth's fourth HR of the season ended the game off Vidal Nuno. He went 2 for 5 as the leadoff hitter and is batting .282 on the year. McLouth has recorded two hits in three of his last four games. He's also stolen 13 bases this season. 


Sammy Solis makes first post-Tommy John appearance
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(10:05 pm ET) Nationals pitching prospect Sammy Solis made his first appearance since Tommy John surgery Tuesday, for Class A Potomac. Solis allowed two runs on one walk and three hits in two innings of work in the outing. He worked in the low 90's with his fastball according to MASNSports.com. 

Solis, 24, has not pitched since 2011, when he posted a 2.72 ERA at Potomac. He is a former second-round pick out of the University of San Diego. 


Chris Dickerson homers twice off Phil Hughes
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(10:04 pm ET) Orioles outfielder Chris Dickerson got a start in center with Adam Jones as the DH Tuesday at home against the Yankees. Dickerson reaquainted himself with former teammate Phil Hughes.

Entering the game with 12 career homers, Dickerson took Hughes deep twice in the game. His second and third homers on the year each went deep to right field. His second went onto the Camden Yards flag court. It was Dickerson's first career two-homer game.

Dickerson finished the game 3 for 4 and has hit in six straight games with two doubles, three homers and eight RBI over that span. He's batting .371. This was Dickerson's sixth career three-hit game.
